PUBLISHERS\u2019 PREFACE
Yoga is right living. This definition may appear to be simple, but really it is very significant,
for the meaning of right living is very wide. Swami Sivanandaji Maharaj explains in an easy and
homely style the basic principles that a beginner in Yoga has to understand and follow. TheseEasy
Steps to Yogaare laid out with a special view to enable the novice to ascend without much difficulty
the heights of spiritual attainment. Ethical and moral discipline forms the foundation of Yoga. Sri
Swamiji has beautifully brought together all the fundamentals: good conduct, non-attachment,
dispassion, unselfish work, sense-control, meditation and knowledge to form a connected piece of
complete information on the practice of Yoga, beginning with bodily health and training, and
ending in Self-knowledge. We bring out the sixth edition of this precious volume for the edification
of students, both in the East and the West, who have no acquaintance with the technicalities
involved in the subject, but are eager to have an adequate grasp of the main guiding principles in
living a life of wisdom arising out ofdivine discontent.
